Spain's COVID-19 death toll rises to 20,171

The Spanish Ministry of Health confirmed that 20,171 people have now died from coronavirus in the country.

Only the US and Italy have recorded more deaths from COVID-19 than Spain.

The US currently has 37,727 cases while Italy has 23,227.

Spain’s official death toll hiked by 565 from the number recorded Friday.

The percentage increase of 2.9% is in line with the daily results of the past week.

However, Spanish authorities have said they are bringing in a new system for reporting cases and are also increasing testing, which may mean that the data fluctuates.

There are 2,293,644 confirmed coronavirus cases all over the world with 157,400 deaths.

583,783 people have recovered from COVID-19.
